PIPE FOR SMOKING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 23, 1912.

Application filed January 6, 1912. Serial No. 669,906.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID HARPER Snz- BETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ann Arbor, State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in and to Pipes for Smoking, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in tobacco pipes, into which a partition or piece of suitable '.metal, wire netting, is so inserted as to divide the pipe for smoking, into two compartments into which tobacco of two or more diflerent classes may be placed" at the same time. This partition is made by taking a flat piece of metal and bending, pressing or molding same into such a shape as to fit snugly'any size of pipe, so as to divide the same into two compartments. This partition or piece of metal may be varied in its shape. The principal shape however in which it will be manufactured will be a flat piece of metal with an L or flange bent .from each end in opposite directions. This L or flange may be bent either to the rightor to the left or vice versa. The inventor hereinafter will use the word flange in referring to this L or flange. The flanges may be of greater or less magnitude to snugly fit the pipe for smoking. In a pipe for smoking the partition may also be made so as to divide a bow of metal which would exactly conform to the inside'sliape of the bowl of the pipe in which used. This partition of any shape mentioned herein may be of wire or of metal I solid or perforated.

In the accompanying drawings Figure-I shows a pipe with .the partition therein. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the flange is formed in a shell which fits in the pipe. Fig. 3 shows the flanged partition.

' In the drawings, 10 indicates a tobacco pipe of any desired construction; 11 indi cates a partition of a shape to fit within the pipe bowl and divide the same into compartments.

As shown in Fig. 3 this partition is formed preferably of metal, stamped, out or otherwise shaped, and at the edges, flanges 12 are bent to extend in opposite directions. In bending the flanges are generally curved to lit the inner curvature of the pipe bowl, and preferably being of flexible material may be readily pressed or shaped to fit close against the sides of the bowl. The partition extends practically to the base of the bowl.

In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the partition ll'is formed within a shell 13, which fits within the pipe bowl.

In both constructions the partition is preferably perforated so that if necessary the fire will pass therethrough so that the tobaccos in each chamber, which may be of different kinds, flavors, mixturesor grades will burn evenly. The perforations may be of any desired size or shape.

- aving thus described my invention, I claim: 1. The combination with a tobacco pipe of a perforated partition shaped to divide the bowl into a plurality of chambers, all open at the base, and in which tobaccos may be simultaneously smoked.

2. As an article of manufacture a perforated partition having fianges conforming to the sides of the tobacco bowl of a pipe ,to divide the same into chambers in which tobaccos may be simultaneously smoked. DAVID HARPER sIEEETT.
